About This Quiz

What would you like for dinner this evening? Maybe you're thinking about pizza, tacos, hot pockets or spaghetti with meatballs. But we've got something else in mind ... something a little more Japanese. Now, this type of cuisine ranges from miso soup and yakitori to tonkatsu and ramen. And speaking of ramen, we've got an empty bowl here that's just waiting to be filled. So go ahead and choose from different savory broths, proteins, veggies, eggs and noodles, because, in this foodie quiz, you can let your imagination run wild. 

But let's dissect the essence of ramen for a moment. Each component is vital to the final flavor profile, and it first starts with the broth. You've got different options like salt, soy, pork and even vegetarian broth, but these can also be enhanced with extra condiments like miso paste and chili oil for added spice. Eggs are typically added as well, along with bean sprouts, bamboo and green onions. Some restaurants even add butter and corn while others are more minimal with their approach. But which ramen method is right for you? There's no wrong answer here because your foodie preferences are about to be matched to a pretty Japanese name!
